Abstract

Dog bites can be prevented by proper education of children, appropriate selection of family pets and the restraint of guard dogs in the community. An unusually high incidence of bites by German shepherds was observed in this study. Treatment of injuries inflicted by dogs should include: careful wound toilet, appropriate excision of damaged tissues, careful wound repair with adequate drainage and systematic therapy with selected antibiotics.
